For many later models, Mercedes did not include dip sticks for customers to check their own Transmission Fluid. I believe this is still in practice today.
Matter of fact, I believe they have recently also removed the oil dipstick. Now they just have a low level indicator that gives a warning through the dash. Good luck when that system stops working in a few years. I suppose this is some new profit increasing strategy to keep their dealerships making (more) money. Also, helps insure that more cars are serviced at dealerships by "factory trained" technicians. So they have less problems in the long run due to short-cut mechanics hacking up the cars. Theoretically, that is.
Overall, yet another excuse for you to have to take it to the dealership.
They have the dipsticks there, use them to check fluid, then remove them before turning back in to customer.
